Celebrating the impact of IDSS

A two-day conference at MIT reflected on the impact of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society since its launch, as founding Director Munther Dahleh prepares to step down.

A better way to study ocean currents

A new machine-learning model makes more accurate predictions about ocean currents, which could help with tracking plastic pollution and oil spills, and aid in search and rescue.

Researchers create a tool for accurately simulating complex systems

The system they developed eliminates a source of bias in simulations, leading to improved algorithms that can boost the performance of applications.

A method for designing neural networks optimally suited for certain tasks

With the right building blocks, machine-learning models can more accurately perform tasks like fraud detection or spam filtering.
